Amana

The Pietism, a religious movement from Germany, purchased 5,000 acres near Buffalo, New York in the 18th century.  Needing more land for their growing community, they purchased and moved the community to Iowa and established seven villages.

 

The last community to be incorporated was Homestead – which provided the   communities with access to the railroad. There is no platform for arriving or departing passengers for only freight trains use the tracks today – at least the ticket agent stays cool with his air conditioner.

 

 

 

 

No date was provided for the Iowa’s oldest microbrewery – when you are sitting in 85 degree weather with a shaded table enjoying a cold brew, does the date really matter?

Here you will find award winning premium beers and their famous Old Time Root Beer.  You can view the brewing and bottling process, enjoy samples and their outdoor beer garden.
